Why Insect & Disease Control Matters for Your Lawn

Insect infestations and lawn diseases don’t just affect the surface—they often begin below the soil and spread quickly. By the time symptoms are visible, the damage is already underway. Left untreated, these issues can:

Kill large sections of turfgrass
Invite secondary pest problems
Create bare spots and weaken root systems
Make your lawn more vulnerable to drought and stress

At GreenTouch Lawn Treatment & Weed Control, we take a proactive approach. Our treatments eliminate pests at the source and stop the spread of disease before it becomes unmanageable. The result? A stronger, greener, and more vibrant lawn that stands the test of time.

COMMON PESTS FOUND IN NORTH TEXAS

GRUB WORM

CHINCH BUG

ARMYWORMS

FIRE ANTS

GRUB WORM PREVENTION & CONTROL IN KELLER

HOW GRUBS CAUSE DAMAGE

White grub worms are the most common type of grub in North Texas grasses and cause the most damage to Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia. These larvae, originating from June bugs, feed directly on the roots of your grass throughout the spring to fall seasons, leading to severe grass deterioration.

Our holistic method of treatment halts grub damage before it starts and promptly tackles any existing issues, shielding your grass from potential harm. Spring presents an opportune time to initiate grub worm treatment, safeguarding your lawn from these harmful pests throughout the year.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Irregularly shaped patches of dead grass.
Resemblance to the symptoms of drought stress.
Noticeable signs such as the ability to roll up your grass like a carpet, indicating a lack of roots anchoring the dying grass.
Active feeding from mid-spring to fall: During this period, white grub worms feed on grass roots, causing damage to lawns.

GRUB WORM TREATMENT IN KELLER

The best time for grub control depends on whether you want to prevent grubs or kill the ones already damaging your lawn. Our technicians can apply either a preventative or curative treatment depending on your yard’s history and current situation with grub worms. Vigilant observation of these signs is crucial for early detection and effective management of white grub worm infestations in your lawn.

CHINCH PREVENTION & CONTROL IN KELLER

HOW CHINCH CAUSE DAMAGE

Chinch bugs pose a significant threat to your lawn, feeding on grass stems and injecting them with toxins, which can quickly dry out the blades. These bugs thrive in dry conditions and prefer hot and sunny environments. They typically cause the most damage during the scorching Texas summer, when temperatures are at their highest and rainfall is scarce.

Detecting chinch bugs can be challenging since they primarily reside near the soil level of your grass. At GreenTouch, we conduct thorough property inspections, carefully search for signs of chinchbug activity, and promptly administer treatments to prevent them from wreaking havoc on your yard.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Inspect the base of your grass, where chinch bugs typically reside.

Watch for irregular patches of yellowing turf that spread outward, indicative of the toxins they inject into the plant.

Chinch bugs may have various appearances, but commonly, you’ll notice two black dots on the top of their backs or wings.

CHINCH BUG TREATMENT IN KELLER

At GreenTouch, we provide a comprehensive chinch bug control program designed to safeguard your lawn from these damaging pests. Our program includes both curative and preventative treatments, ensuring that existing chinch bug infestations are eradicated while also implementing measures to prevent future outbreaks. With our tailored approach, we ensure a chinch bug-free environment, allowing your lawn to thrive and flourish without the threat of damage.

ARMYWORM PREVENTION & CONTROL IN KELLER

HOW ARMYWORMS CAUSE DAMAGE

Armyworms, technically caterpillars, are pests known for their ability to devour grasses and other plants. In their larval stage, they cause the most damage, consuming food at an alarming rate. While they feed primarily on Bermuda grass, they will most certainly feed on the thick blades of St. Augustine. Their rapid destruction can transform a lush lawn into a barren landscape resembling a battlefield in just days.

At GreenTouch, we understand the threat posed by armyworms to your lawn’s health and vitality. That’s why we conduct comprehensive inspections during each visit, searching for signs of armyworm activity. By detecting these pests early, we can administer treatments to prevent them from causing extensive damage to your yard.

What TO LOOK FOR

Sudden browning or thinning of grass in patches that appear overnight
Grass blades chewed down to the crown (very short or scalped look)
Irregular patches of dead or dying grass that quickly expand
Small green or brown caterpillars (up to 1.5 inches) crawling on or near the soil surface
Increased bird activity—birds may flock to your yard to feed on the larvae
Visible frass (insect droppings) on the soil or grass surface
Damage that appears worse after mowing—armyworms tend to feed at night and hide during the day
Edges of damaged areas look ragged, not clean or circular like some lawn diseases
Presence of moths (armyworm adults) flying low over the lawn in early evening

ARMYWORM TREATMENT

At GreenTouch, we understand the threat posed by armyworms to the health of your lawn. The fall armyworm, one of the most destructive pests in Texas, can wreak havoc on Bermuda grass and as well as the thick blades of St. Augustine. If you detect signs of armyworm activity in your lawn, our expert team will promptly apply targeted insecticide treatments to eliminate the infestation. While armyworm outbreaks may not occur frequently, addressing them quickly is crucial to prevent extensive damage to your lawn.

FIRE ANT PREVENTION & CONTROL IN KELLER

HOW FIRE ANTS CAUSE DAMAGE

While red imported fire ants may not harm grass, they pose a threat to you, your family, and your pets, making their control imperative for a safe outdoor environment.

Red imported fire ants are a common pest throughout Texas. They are most active during the spring and early fall before entering a dormant stage as temperatures cool.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Erect mounds reaching heights of 8-12 inches.
Fire ants are commonly found in open areas throughout the lawn where there is a lot of heat and irrigation.
These ants tend to exhibit aggressive behavior and inflict painful bites.

FIRE ANT TREATMENT

While red imported fire ants may not directly harm grass, they pose a threat to you, your family and your pets with their painful stings. That’s why effective fire ant control is crucial for maintaining a safe outdoor space. Our specialized insecticides not only eliminate existing fire ant colonies but also prevent the formation of new ones.
